One of my favorite features of the interwebs is Google Earth - has been for more than 10 years.

A few weesks ago I was having weird glitches come up repeatedly that made it inoperable. In the past I've had luck with deleting a program and reloading it as a way of renewing good function.

So I deleted Google Earth and tried to reload it but it's not offering download suggestions and steps like it once did.

It seemed to be acting more like a web site you open when you want to use it. Slightly new look but about the same. This worked for about 5 or 6 visits, over a few week period.

Today when I clicked on the "Launch Earth" tab, as had been working heretofore, I got this message:

Unfortunately your computer does not support WebGL graphics acceleration; Google Earth cannot be loaded. Learn more.

'Learn more' was hyperlink, I clicked and was told:

Your browser supports WebGL.
You should see a spinning cube. If you do not, please visit the support site for your browser.

I was seeing a spinning cube, the following figure doing a nifty 3D spin:



'Visit the support site for your browser' was also a hyperlink

I can't get any useful direction on how to adjust my settings to get it to work. Every quickie tutorial tells me to look for and click on tabs that aren't there. Amazing how often this happens.

It kills me. Google Earth worked well for a long time. Surey there's a fix for this.
